Strain differences in cuprizone induced demyelination [PDF]
Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a severe neurological disorder, characterized by demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS), and with a prevalence of greater than 2 million people worldwide.

Oligodendrocyte death and myelin loss in the cuprizone model: an updated overview of the intrinsic and extrinsic causes of cuprizone demyelination [PDF]
Background The dietary consumption of cuprizone – a copper chelator – has long been known to induce demyelination of specific brain structures and is widely used as model of multiple sclerosis.

An Alternative Cuprizone-Induced Demyelination and Remyelination Mouse Model
The cuprizone model is a well-established and investigated paradigm to study demyelination and remyelination in rodents. Cuprizone is usually administrated by mixing in the powdered or pelleted rodent chow.

Cognitive disturbances in the cuprizone model of multiple sclerosis [PDF]
AbstractCognitive problems frequently accompany neurological manifestations of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, during screening of preclinical candidates, assessments of behaviour in mouse models of MS typically focus on locomotor activity. In the present study, we analysed cognitive behaviour of 9 to 10‐week‐old female C57Bl/6J mice orally ...

Cuprizone feeding induces swollen astrocyte endfeet
AbstractThe cuprizone model is a widely used model to study the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Due to the selective loss of mature oligodendrocytes and myelin, it is mainly being used to study demyelination and the mechanisms of remyelination, as well as the efficiency of compounds or therapeutics aiming at remyelination.

Development and validation of a novel HILIC method for the quantification of low-levels of cuprizone in cuprizone-containing chow [PDF]
Cuprizone is an amide compound that has been wildly used in various animal studies, such as in the investigation of remyelination in mouse model. It is important to control the amount of cuprizone dosed in animals to be consistent as different amounts ...

Behavioral and neurobiological changes in C57BL/6 mouse exposed to cuprizone: effects of antipsychotics [PDF]
Recent human studies suggest a role for altered oligodendrocytes in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Our recent animal study has reported some schizophrenia-like behaviors in mice exposed to cuprizone (Xu et al., 2009), a copper chelator that has ...

The cuprizone induced animal model of demyelination is characterized by demyelination in many regions of the brain with high levels of demyelination in the corpus callosum as well as changes in neuronal function by 4-6 weeks of exposure.

Unravelling the chemical nature of copper cuprizone
During the last 50 years, formation of the highly chromogenic copper cuprizone complex has been exploited for spectrophotometric determinations of copper although the precise chemical nature of the resulting species has never been ascertained; we eventually show here, in contrast to current opinion, that copper cuprizone is a copper(III)complex.
